SUFFOCATED IN TUNNEL Four Workmen Meet Death Under East River. New York, Jan. 17.—Two negro tun- nel workers were killed by suffocation and caisson disease, two were drowned, two others were seriously overcome and the white foreman and assistant suffered severely in rescuing those who survived when a compressed air pipe burst in the East river tunnel on Man-o-War reef, opposite Forty- second street, early in the day. The bodies of the two drowned men still lie at the, bottom of the shaft, twenty feet below the river level. These men were overwhelmed by the water pressure. The other two dead men were hoisted to the surface by the foreman and his assistant, who also rescued the two whose lives were saved. The foreman and his assistant were hoisted to the river level with the bodies just in time to escape! drowning and death by the ‘“bends,” as the dreaded caisson disease is called. Man-o-War reef is a mass of rocks which lies just below the surface of the river at low water. When it was fixed upon as the place for a shaft a crib was built, which was made .air- tight, and by dumping rocks from the other shafts upon it the contractors have made a litile island for the work there. From this the shaft through which the compressed air was driven to the workers helow was sunk. | | REV. W. N. CLEVELAND DEAD.! Brother of Former President Victim of Paralysis.

Albany, N. Y., Jan. 17.—The state senate has defeated by a vote of 34 to 1 Senator Brackett's resolution re- questing the resignation of United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew. The Democrats were excused from vot- ing. Senator Brackett alone support- ed the resolution. This action followed a long debate, opened by Senator Brackett in a speech of an hour and a quarter, in which he scathingly attacked Senator Depew, with an incidental denuncia- tion of Senator Thomas C. Platt. Senators Malby, Cassidy, Raines, Coggeshall and others defended Mr. Depew. The resolution came up as a spe- cial order early in the session in the presence of a crowded chamber. After it was read Mr. Grady, the minority leader, explained the attitude they were in nowise respousible for sending Mr. Depew to the United States senate and the r2sponsibility of recalling Mr. Depew must be on the party that sent him there. The Demo- crats would remain passive and listen to the debate and any individual mem- ber may then be influenced one way or another. Senator Brackett was the first speaker on the resolution. He addressed the senate at length in favor of its adoptlon REPRIEVE FOR PATRICK. Execution of New York Lawyer Again Postponed. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 17.—Albert T.

"Stevens, in_ immediate «charge of the construction of the Pan- On' Sept. 28.last M. Rouvier for | 2ma canal, gave testimony during the France and Prince Radolin for Ger- many reached an agreement on the exact programme of the conference. This programme is quite short, ag it was part of Rouvier’s skillful diplo- macy to bring the conference within the closest possible limits. The pro- gramme agreed upon was as follows: “The two governments are in accord in proposing to the sultan the follow- ing programme: i “First—The organization, by inter- nal accord, of :the. police, except on ‘| the -Algerian frontier. “Second—Surveillance and repres- sion of contraband arms, except along the Algerian frontier. “Third—Financial reforms, with the creation of a state bank,’ with the privileges of issuing currency. “Fourth—Study of the customs and new means of raising revenues.” Minor Features Also Covered. The agreement contains some other minor features, but the foregoing are the essential questions to be present- ed to-the Morocco conference. France throughout the controversy and up 1o the opening of the confer- ence has maintained that she had a special or. privileged position in Mo- rocco. That dis the-vital question about to be considered, for the questions of contraband and customs are largely detail. If the special position of France is recognized then the coming conference will turn over to France the organization of the police and mil- itary and the surveillance of contra- band. In short all of the questions in- volved hinge upon the main question as to whether the special position of France is to be clearly recognized. Germany will doubtless contend for International supervision, in which she and all other powers shall take equal part, something like the international administration of Macedonia and Crete. On the other hand France consistently upholds her special and paramount right, based on geographical position, to safeguard the future of Morocco, acting thus as the virtual trustee for the nations. LIBERAL GAINS CONTINUE. Win Seats in Heretofore Unionist ' .Strongholds. London, Jan. 17.—The Laborites and Liberals as a result of the election at Newcastle-on-Tyne each gained a seat. Both these seats formerly ‘were held by Unionists, with majorities of 4,000 and 5,000, and the force of the'anti- Unionist blizzard cau be gauged by the fact that the result gives the suc-' cessful Laborite and Liberal contest- ants majorities of 7,000. The batch of unopposed returns made public during the morning make the total to date: Liberals, 103; Un- ionists, 32; Irish Nationalists, 31; La- borites, 18; Socialists, 1, day before the senate committee on interoceanic canals. The committee announced that the examination would chiefly relate to the type of canal to be built, with an especial bearing on the report of the consulting board of engineers, whese final report has not been ' made public.
